<h2 id="judges-remarks">Judges’ remarks:</h2>
<p>Oh no, yet another <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_(computer_program)">dc</a>-style
calculator? (see <a href="/2000/dlowe">2000/dlowe</a> using an embedded
Perl interpreter and deemed <code>Worst Abuse of the Rules</code>).
Well, this one does it (expression calculation, that is, not the rule
abuse) in a different way. The author claims that his calculator does
just-in-time compilation. What would you do to prove or disprove his
claim without attempting to unravel the source?</p>
<h2 id="authors-remarks">Author’s remarks:</h2>
<p>This is an implementation of the classic UNIX <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_(computer_program)">dc</a>
command, the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation">reverse
Polish</a> calculator. Actually it’s a pretty bad implementation, since
it only implements 32-bit integers (well, <code>sizeof(int)</code>-sized
integers). It only implements the commands <code>+</code>,
<code>-</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>/</code>, <code>p</code> (only for
numbers), register stacks, macros and comparisons. Wow, you’d think I
could’ve done better in 2K of code.</p>
<p>OH! I forgot to mention! It’s a <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation">JIT</a>.</p>
<p>Wait, don’t stop reading! I know what you’re thinking,
platform-specific code is discouraged in IOCCC. But do you see any
platform-specific code? There’s no assembler here! This <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation">JIT</a>
works on a dozen platforms, and the only platform-specific assumptions
it makes are that the stack grows down and integers are at least
32-bit.</p>
<p>You will probably get warnings while compiling the code. In
particular:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If your system requires the inclusion of <code>alloca.h</code> to
use alloca, use the compile flag <code>-DAH</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>If your system cannot use <code>mmap()</code>, use the compile
flag <code>-DNM</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t include any headers I don’t strictly need to, so you’ll
get warnings about (at least) <code>memcpy()</code>,
<code>isdigit()</code>, <code>atoi()</code>, <code>calloc()</code>,
<code>malloc()</code> and <code>alloca()</code> if you didn’t use
<code>-DAH</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li>NOTE from judges: we added these includes in 2023.</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>GCC likes to complain about <code>while (a = b)</code>
(assignments as a condition).</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t return from <code>main()</code>, even though it’s
declared to return <code>int</code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Platforms on which all known/tested optimization levels work with no
additional flags:</p>
<ul>
<li>gcc 4.6.2 + x86[_64] + GNU/Linux, Mac OS X or Windows</li>
<li>clang 2.9-16 + x86[_64] + GNU/Linux or Mac OS X</li>
<li>tcc 0.9.25</li>
<li>gcc 4.4.5 + alpha, arm, mips[el], powerpc[64], s390x (IBM
zSeries)</li>
<li>gcc 4.1.3 + vax + NetBSD</li>
</ul>
<p>Platforms which work but not at all optimization levels or needing
special flags:</p>
<ul>
<li>owcc 1.9 + x86 + Windows: Needs
<code>-DNM -DAH -fno-stack-check</code></li>
<li>gcc 4.4.5 + sh4: -O0 works, higher optimization levels don’t work
for unknown reasons.</li>
